Moorhouse, Sr. | June 5, 2001 |
A storage device for a plurality of storage members each adapted to accommodate at least one compact disc comprises a base member formed from synthetic plastics material and incorporating integral locating prongs formed by cutting and deforming a portion of the base member. The locating prongs are adapted for engagement with complimentary apertures in each of the storage members and are resiliently deformable so that they may be deformed to pass through the apertures in the storage members and then resiliently expand so that portions thereof extend beyond the apertures to retain the storage members in position on the base member.
